Cody Lundin: When All Hell Breaks Loose

Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and terrorist attacks are alive and well in our current world. A number of scientists have come to say that they believe natural disasters will only get worse as time progresses. Weather patterns will change as well and may worsen over time. While some people think survival techniques are only for people who put themselves into a position to become lost in the wilderness, survival needs can take place right in your own home. Cody Lundin's latest book: When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes outlines what each family should do in preparation of a disaster of some sort.

The enjoyable thing about Cody Lundin's book is that it isn't written in a manual style. Many survival books are written step by step and can be very dry to get through. Lundin prides himself on his humor and good-natured way of talking about things. He admits that he himself doesn't like to read survival books that put you to sleep. His thought process that survival is 90% psychology based and 10% methodology makes things very interesting. To survive, all one needs to do is be calm and think things through. Having a pre-though out plan that can be calmly executed is the key to success and survival.

Of course, the nitty gritty of survival techniques is included in topics such as disinfecting water, storing food, heating or cooling the home or body and creating light sources. You will even read about catching bugs and rodents for a meal. Basic first aid and hygeine skills along with necessary items makes When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes a manual to keep on hand at your home. Though Lundin does point out, the book won't do you much good sitting on a nightstand until an actual disaster strikes. Read this book before you're faced with a challenging situation.

Cody Lundin runs an Aboriginal Living Skills school and has most recently been featured on The Discovery Channel's show: Dual Survival alongside Dave Canterbury. His success comes from his extensive personal knowledge of survival skills that has come from his personal experience. He resides in a self-designed off-the-grid solar powered home in Arizona and catches rain, composts waste and does not pay for heating or cooling.
